Hisakazu Tsuboya and Zaif Siddiqi of NTT DOCOMO discuss the Japanese telecom ’ s ambitious plans for 5G in Japan and overseas
The impact that the global 5G rollout will have across every region , industry and vertical cannot be understated . 5G connectivity will deliver ultralow latency connectivity and a generational leap in capacity , which in turn is delivering transformational innovations to enterprises , governments and the end consumer .
In Japan , where the national 5G rollout is well underway , adoption is being driven by a joint effort stemming from the public and private sectors in order to meet the exacting standards of enterprise and individual customers . “ 5G is about delivering ultra-low latency and higher capacity than ever before . It ' s also about creating meaningful change in the industry ,” says Zaif Siddiqi , Executive Director and Global Head of NTT DOCOMO ’ s 5G & IoT Business Department .
NTT DOCOMO is positioning itself at the forefront of 5G innovation in Japan , and is currently in the process of taking the vital next step , when the kinds of proof of concept ( POC ) trials that demonstrated the potential of 5G give way to POCs demonstrating the technology ’ s commercial viability . “ The POCs we have done in the past were about finding out how to launch 5G . The POCs we are doing now are finding out how to commercialise the technology in the enterprise sector , making 5G not only beneficial to our enterprise customers , but proving its potential as a tool to solve wider social issues as well ,” Siddiqi elaborates .
